You might also want to add that the talk pages are there to be used. It's rather distracting to suddenly encounter a conversation in the middle of an article.
Also, rather than put it on the main page, it should probably go under a 'help' heading in the "special" section of the sidebar, along with some of the rule and format posts that are currently here on the forums. When I was first looking around the site I found it odd that there were no sections on rules or guidelines for contributing, and it's something of a leap to figure out that they're buried in old forum posts. Things like how images should be aligned and how to align them, that links to weapon pages don't go in headings and so on would help new users figure out what they should be doing a lot quicker, assuming they actually want to.
